Can we talk about karting?

[G.Irish]

I'm sorry I don't believe at karting alumni really interact with students too much. It is more of a competition where alumni get on their team and students get on theirs and you alumni fight to be the best. Tell me where interaction is there? I think interaction starts at social events where alumni and students can actually talk a lot. Tailgates, grill outs, etc... Where alumni can make it but not many do. There are only a handful of alumni who can and actually make it to things in Harrisonburg where us students are but yet you complain.

In previous years, I think I've met a majority of the students (at the time) from karting and at the track.

I think the key here is to plan a social event after karting ahead of time so people can plan to be there. If people wanna party at Justin's he needs to be asked ahead of time so he can prepare if he's down for it, and so we can toss some dinero his way for his troubles.

I've met a lot of people through karting and had great conversations with them, but usually that's at the after-event. I do think that mixing people up on teams would help people mingle more though.
